a misunderstanding born outta contempt
that was the rock i was battered against
oh sorrow dogged by sorrow was in my heart
don´t even know just where to start
i was knowin´ too little an´ feelin´ too much
should´ve seen the penny dropping just a touch
i walked away as mad as could be
no matter how i try it´s the same damn thing

knowin´ too little an´ feelin´ too much
more than a little bit outta touch
knowin´ too little an´ feelin´ too much
more than a little bit outta touch

stone dead from standin´ still
can´t run from the shadow that wishes me ill
a bone in the fly a fly in the bone
kept hanging around the door to my home
oh tell it to the river and tell it to the sea
this man´s gonna be the death of me
my tiny fist just isn´t a threat
not even enough to make him sweat

the wrinkle in the sheet next to him
didn´t see the trouble that she was in
when the ill wind started to blow
it was far too late for me to go
sun´s gonna shine bright at midnight
before i find out if my hunches were right
he knew damn well what lies were for
huff an´ puff an´ show her the door

life robs you of your bones an´ slips by in dreams
and absolutely nothing is as it seems
that halfway point between life and death
slipped by and now i´ve less time left
i´ve worn this face far too long
i just got used to always bein´ wrong
i know one thing one thing i know
that sweet sweet man´s just gotta go
